  • Validate Product Index - if option enabled, extension will validate products index. If index for some product is incorrect, extension will add this product to the reindexing queue. Usually this feature should be enabled if you import products from extenal system directly to the database (e.g. use Magmi).

The option Use Flat Catalog Product (System > Configuration > Catalog - Frontend) must be enabled for correct work of this feature.


  • Validate Category Index - if option enabled, extension will validate categories index. If index for some category is incorrect, extension will add this category to the reindexing queue. Usually this feature should be enabled if you import categories from extenal system directly to the database (e.g. use Magmi).

The option Use Flat Catalog Category (System > Configuration > Catalog - Frontend) must be enabled for correct work of this feature.


  • Max queue batch size for processing - sets how many products/categories can be added to reindex queue (if product or category index incorrect).
    ~!This option available, only if option Validate Product index is enabled. This variable depends on your server. Recomended value 100 for slower server and < 1000 for fast server.
  • Reindex by cron - if option enabled, extension will run reindexing of queue via cron.
    By default extension use default magento cron cron.php.
    Also, you can disable this option and create custom cronjob which should run the file via Command Line Interface.
  • Ignored indexes - list of ignored indexes. Selected indexes will not be processed (reindexed) by our extension. They can use default magento reindexing mechanism.
